For my part, I've come around to thinking that we'd be better off without the <p class=success> or <h2 class=valid> part at all. Instead just emit any errors and warnings. And if there are no errors or warnings, just be silent. The binary pass/fail, valid/invalid indicator is not necessary and not really helpful. We're not handing out badges, and the purpose of the validator is not to give anybody a stamp of approval. --Mike -- Michael[tm] Smith http://people.w3.org/mike
